Tell us a little about yourself.

I started this group to share what we've learned about sustainable manufacturing and independent design, and to learn from others who care about these topics. I love meeting crafters, sewers, DIYers and artists of all types. My greatest passion is getting people to pick up a pen, pencil, sewing needle, or glue gun and create something! It's the most empowering experience I've come across and I think the people who believe in their ability to create are the people who change the world!
I also think it's important to create sustainably and with the least impact on the environment. It's the best way to support generations of creators yet to come!

Introduction

I'm a founder of sewlove.co, an art community and fashion house. We're committed to made in the USA manufacturing and are constantly working to use sustainable materials and practices for all our pieces.

We love to dress up, but we don't like the toll the fashion industry has taken on the environment and our health. We like to design home interior objects using the unexpected, the re-used, and the products made of earth friendly materials. We'll put an old chair on the wall, or make a lampshade made of vintage stamps. From using recycled and organic fabrics, to manufacturing locally, to openly sharing every step of the production process, we want to explore all the ways the fashion industry and the home furnishings industry can improve. Let's meet up to explore these themes and share ideas!
